I like to use this stat (Runs Created per 27 outs) when searching for players. It is a "rate" stat, for those who are not familar with it. It is used to approximate the expected number of runs your offense would score in a game if you batted nothing but that player's season over and over again.
Anyway, I was looking at Bert Campaneris earlier. His last two seasons are '81 and '83. Here are his AVG/OBP/SLUG for those two seasons, as well as his RC27 as listed by WIS:
'81: .256/.295/.341 for RC27 of 3.63
'83: .322/.355/.357 for RC27 of 3.96
It seemed to me that the 1983 number was not high enough, at least compared to 1981. So I googled the formula and calculated it for both seasons; I got about the same number that WIS did for 1981, but got 4.61 for 1983. Which is a pretty big difference.
Anybody else notice that RC27 is off? Is this a systemic bug or just a scrivner's error or something?
